I want a quick meal tonight jso I’m making a favorite of ours. I have been weeding in my garden and I’m flat out tired. When I created this recipe, I basically started with my meatloaf recipe and added half of a huge jalapeno. Ate these babies on a Carb Smart hamburger bun. DEEEEEliscious! WE make these often now! Not quite the same as a meatloaf sandwich (without the tomato sauce topping one typically puts on a meatloaf), but super tasty in a new, bold way! These are not suitable until late in Phase 2 Atkins OWL unless you substitute a phase approved bread for the Joseph’s pita or Carb Smart bun. These will also fit into other Keto dients provided the carbs will fit your daily limits.
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. lean ground beef (I used grass-fed with a stronger flavor)
8 oz. lean ground pork
1 oz. red bell pepper, chopped
½ large jalapeno, chopped fine (use the whole thing if you like “spicy” food)
2 oz. onion, chopped
1 large stalk celery, chopped fine
2 T. olive oil
½ c. parsley, chopped
¼ tsp. dried oregano
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1 Joseph’s Flax-Oat Fiber Pita, moistened with a little water and mushed up
2 large eggs
¼ c. grated Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS: In a non-stick skillet, saute the celery, bell pepper and jalapeno in the olive oil. When getting tender, add to a medium mixing bowl. Add all remaining ingredients and stir well with a fork or use your hands to blend like a meatloaf. Form into 6 patties and brown on both sides on a lightly oiled griddle until they firm up and no longer exude pink juices. Serve on your favorite low-carb bun and ENJOY!
